  • 1 tablespoon harissa or more or less depending on your spice level 
  • Pinch kosher salt
Tahini Sauce: 
  • 1/2 cup tahini whisked 
  • 2 garlic minced or pushed through a garlic press, small cloves
  • lemon juice juice from 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Israeli Salad: 
  • 2 cucumbers small, Persian
  • 1/2 pint cherry tomato diced Or 1 Roma tomato, diced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley Italian, minced
  • 1 teaspoon mint leaves minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • lemon juice juice from 1 lemon
  • salt
Other Accessories + Sabich Assembly: 
  • hummus store-bought or homemade 
  • 4 pita halved
  • 2 egg sliced and cut in half, boiled

Instructions

To Make the Eggplant: 
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small sauté pan, set over medium heat, add the olive oil. When hot, add the diced eggplant and pan-fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, until there’s color on all sides. Pour in the harissa paste and add about two tablespoons of water (this create more of a sauce). Toss the eggplant until it’s evenly coated in the harissa and add a few pinches of salt. Turn the heat down to low and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. 
To Make the Tahini Sauce: 
  1. Whisk together the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, water and salt. It might give you a bit of trouble at first but keep whisking, it’ll eventually smooth out. Add an additional teaspoon or two of water, if you want it to be a tad bit thinner. Give it a taste and adjust the salt to your liking. 
To Make the Israeli Salad:
  1. In a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients and mix. 
To Assemble the Sabich: 
  1. Take one half of a pita and add a few teaspoons or hummus. Smooth it out to the sides and then add spoonful of diced eggplant, two pieces of egg, tahini sauce and Israeli salad.
